Drew Barrymore to Host
Syndicated Daytime Talk Show.
The program will premiere on CBS
sometime in the fall next year.
It is beyond my wildest dreams to have this opportunity for a daily talk show. I'm truly thrilled and honored to be creating this show with CBS, Drew Barrymore, via statement.
We are very excited to be in business with Drew Barrymore and have our stations serve as the launch group for a show that is the brightest prospect I have seen in many years, CBS TV Stations president Peter Dunn,
via statement.
The actress' new venture comes months after her series, 'Santa Clarita Diet,' was canceled by Netflix after three seasons.
In 2016, Barrymore was also in negotiations for a talk show
with Warner Bros., but a deal
failed to materialize.
This past August, 'Entertainment Tonight' reported that the 44-year-old had
filmed a talk show pilot for CBS.
Her upcoming program is expected to be aired in major CBS markets, including New York and Los Angeles
